I swear doctor Ron's performance is like a stand-up comedian in how he keeps interest, tell stories, and his ability to improvise. amazing teacher

The legend himself

I truely appreciate Austin Schools dedication to bring these takes of unbiased history to the eyes of the general audience around the world, truely grateful

I dream of taking a whole degree being taught by this man and taking notes .. I wish all my teachers were this passionate and sophisticated

This man is legend. I'm arab muslim and astonished of his huge knowledge of Islamic history Keep up the good work

Emerald means Zamurrud. Professor Roy can easily pronounce it. His approach to study of history is so comprehensive and all encompassing that he captivates his audience with remarkable success.

Brilliant as ever... This must be subtitled to Arabic, it would generate millions of views. Actually all of Dr. Roy's lectures need to have Arabic subtitles. Consider this seriously!

It's crazy because if there was a historically accurate Netflix series of this, I truly believe it will be viral. You can make whole MOVIES off of just of a 1 year time span of that whole time period, it's wild.

lots of young generation should know about this unbiased history,.. thank you

أبو الحسن (أبو الفضل) بن الخشاب In English "Ibn Al Khashab" means the son of the Lumberjack, not the son of wood Just wanted to clarify that. Thanks for the great story telling. I enjoyed it a lot.

I was waiting for this! Finally! Dr Casagranda is such an amazing orator.

Since he covered a lot of names I will address his. Roy means 'king'. He is the king of oratory when it comes to history. Casagranda, "a big house" of information in an entertaining format that cements the stories in your mind. May he continue to reign at The Austin School and sharing his insight with the online audience. Many thanks.

Dr Roy is just like a walking book. A fine story teller

I have listened to all of his lectures. I may not be studying history or politics, but I'm thrilled to return home and listen to him after a long day of work. I have a deep passion for philosophy and human history, and Dr. Roy brings out the true essence of history for me. I've always been frustrated with the distorted version of history we were taught in school. I'm genuinely envious of his students who have the opportunity to sit there and listen to his brilliant lectures in person. Nevertheless, I am extremely grateful to have access to them online. I eagerly await the next lecture, filled with anticipation. Thank you so much for that! By the way, the book Artemisia (The Blood Throne) was absolutely fantastic. Well done!

The word empire is one of the products of modernity. The East, especially the Arabs, did not define themselves as an empire. Likewise, the legitimacy of rule among the so-called empire is based on the application of Sharia, and therefore legitimacy is derived or based on the extent of the application of religion = Sharia. Therefore, in my humble opinion, the most correct name is the caliphate. I recommend reading the works of Dr. Wael Hallaq: The Impossible State and Sharia. My greetings to this wise professor and my thanks to this institution for making these wonderful episodes available to us.

I like Dr. Roy Casagranda's very comfortable, engaging style of teaching. I come back to his videos after intense study ready for the next level.

Can't wait for the next part, there will definitely be some Ayyubid dynasty and Saladin, very good intrigue right there! 1:01:08 Thanks professor for the quality content!

Ibn Alkhashab = Son of Carpenter Nizam Almulk = the framework Monarchi I appreciate the respect these sessions, but since I am native arabic speaker, I think it is good to give another dimension to those names

We need an A.I built based on his character to teach us all the other subjects in school cause most of other teachers are boring but this guy knows how to grab ur full span attention

I love you you. How you explain it. I am Lebanese. But never forget that is Lebanon it was part of Syria. And my family is split between the the bilad al sham.

Wow 😮Hollywood is missing out on a great opportunity to showcase this amazing history and professor. The whole world would’ve watched this, unfortunately, old biases die hard and can’t help but think that they would not feature this type of history 😢

I am learning my history from this talented prof. Thanks. I am waiting the other parts. Especially Mongol invasion towards Middle East will be very interesting to learn.

“And they get called the hashishans, and that becomes the word assassin.” 16:48 My mind has just exploded 🤯🤯

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone, Sir Dr roy casagranda I really really appreciate for sharing and explaining to us clearly some history of our world. That will educate us and we need to understand and learn our history. I think It is very important to know our historys

Wow! I love these lectures by this genius professor. This area of the world has always been full of action lol

I really love to hear History without Bias and I can't explain professor how much I like you for this

I never get tired of this guy ❤

in arabic the names Emerald is Zumorrod , and Emad Aldeen Zinky . wonderful lectures history is amazing . thank you

Just bought this man's book to pay my respects to this giant! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! ❤

Dr R. Casagranda is a gem in Political History or, rather the History of Politics‼️ Kudos...🎉 May the Almighty bless and bestow him with health, Guidance and a long career to serve the human thinking and intelligence - Amen🤲

He’s back!! I was so happy when I saw there was a new video uploaded! I’m in Norway right now on work/vacation and I’m willing to make time to actually listen to what this guy says because I speak four languages ( Kurdish is the native, Arabic, Farsi and English is my fourth one and when I tell you that he’s spot on, he’s spot on! I wish he taught in Nashville,Tennessee so I could take his class!

I've been studying history for year's and somethings didnt make sense, but Dr. Roy has shined a light to alot of mysterys. Legend

when Imadudden Zengi dies, his son Nurudden took over and and had also worked/allied together with Salahudden Al Ayyobi and thats the time they took syria, egypt then Palestine and then Nurudden died but Salahuddin and his uncle saifuddin shirko had stabilized their armies in syria, iraq, egypt and Palestine. Thank you so much Sir for having lectures like as it may help to reset the mindset of those people who hate Muslims in the west particularly in USA, Germany, UK, France, Sweden so on and so forth. By listening on here would enlighten their hearts to understand that Muslims were not mass murderers not exterminators but the crusaders do. crusaders killed as many people as they can, roasted the people and ate them and they did not have mercy toward killing babies and elderly. such kind of cruelty had made them extraordinary criminals.

I want to thank you for your open lectures to the world, respect, love and peace from Indonesia🎉🇮🇩❤

Very easy to listen to. Keeps me entertained the entire time. Great work!

So excited for any new lectures this great teacher releases

I read a lot of books on crusades, but your lectures are next level demonstration ❤

Finally. Was waiting for this ❤

You are the best teacher I have seen when it comes for unbiased historical and political lectures. It’s always a blessing to hear it everytime

Protect this man at all costs.❤

Turks indeed had a decisive role in triggering historical major events like the Migration Period, Crusades, shaping the history of Balkans, Islamization of Northern India, Age of Discovery as well as ending the Middle Ages with the conquest of Constantinople, fall of the Roman Empire.

Thank you so much for these videos. You have reinvigorated my passion for history. I appreciate your perspective on everything, hoping KZfaq can be the treasure of history for the future

You made my day, I look forward to every video just cause professor Roy is so captivating, honestly this the first time I comment just cause I hope he sees this and gets motivated to post more

I've watched this lecture like 5 times.. it's crazy how good it is.

Thank you, Roy. I love how you tell a story with emotions and perspective. It's amazing how the present mimics the past.

Alway enjoyed Dr Casagrada lectures and is an eye opener. Inspired me to learn history to understand the current situation.

I love this guy's videos. It's like listening to exciting stories. I could watch these forever.

Me on part one, were the kurds sleeping? Me on part two, ahh not again... but then in the very end when Ayub is mentioned 🤯🥳 Let´s go part 3!! CANT WAIT

Best presentor ever. Enjoy watching him, its like watching the video of actual thing with his description

I can't wait to watch the next coming parts (hopefully!). Thank you for the great content!!

Love all the lectures from Mr. Casagranda, but the crusades series is amazing, cant wait for the part 3

Finally!! Thanks a lot Dr Casagranda! Great lecture as usual!

Again, amazing lecture. Thanks, Dr Casagranda and Austin school 🙏

I truley appreciate Dr. Roy Casagranda's lectures thank you so much! I wanted to say something about why they are called Islamic Empires and not Arab Empires. Mainly, because muslims are conquering new lands and adding estates to their empires in the name of Islam and to spread Islam and the words of Allah. Arabs are not spreading Arabism in their conquests. All the conquest were carrying the Islamic banner and for Islam itself and that's how it's how it took the name Islamic Empire wether it was in Turkey, or Arab countries, or Persia. Wassalam

Definitely the most entertaining lectures I've ever seen, yet he doesn't compromise the efficiency of learning.

Love these lectures! Learnt so much from the Dr

Excellent lecture as always. Waiting for part 3 .

Hi It was amazing like always! Can’t wait for next part. Although There are some points that I wanted to mention about Hasan al Sabbah or Hasan-e sabbah and his fallowers, widely known as Hashashin. I guess you know theme well but it could be interesting for audience. He was an Iranian that posed as Shia. But in fact, his main goal was to weaken Islam’s Influence in Iran by making division and anarchy. The well-known name: Hashashin was not in fact due to their use of hashish. But their drug business. One of their main sources of income to sponsor their activity, was exporting Drugs. Including Willow plant extract known as best disinfectant and sedative at the time. Hence the name Hashash or pharmacist The Assassins where a division of them called: Fadaee or devotee. They were willingly castrated to be focused only on their mission. No family... No love ...no ambition. There are several books about Hassan and his followers. But due to their secrecy, they will always remain a mystery…

The legend Casagranda returns, really appreciate these videos hope to see more soon.

I love to see the professor's lectures again and again.

Comparing the titular Caliph to King Charles III is a absolute stroke of genius and a complete hoot..😂

A great teacher, thanks so dearly for posting these vids

Finally! The long waited lecture! Love from Malaysia!

It’s always a good time when a new video releases

Brilliant lecture..looking forward to watching the next one

Loved it.. asalways a greay lecture by the legend ❤

Dr Casagranda thank you. It’s been a joy to listen to your lectures on the Middle East. One thing though and this is something a lot of people get wrong: the assassin cult were not called the Hashashin. They were called the Qassassin - the cutters. To cut in Arabic is ya’quss’. And as you evidently know, Egyptians drop the Qaaf letter and pronounce it as the A. The point being that it’s highly unlikely that a fanatic religious sect would use hashish and become doofuses. They’re more likely to be called ‘cutters’ because they can chop their enemy in two. Hope you get this.

Finally! I have been waiting for this. Thank you so much

It's so so amazing!! Eagerly waiting for the next parts and hoping for a 5 :3

I love everything about what Dr. Roy does. How unapologetic he is about the truth. How engaging the whole lecture is. ( Or lectures, because i have gladly watched every lecture he made that is on KZfaq) And how he tries to pronounce every native word in its native tongue. However, i believe he wasn't successful in doing so this time. At least according to the history we learned at school in Aleppo. Emad Al-Dien Zenki not Zengi. I really hope to get to meet this brilliant man, and hopefully be able to study with him one day. All respect Dr. Roy.

I really enjoy your lectures but I wish we can get some form of presentation for maps and names because I get lost by all this information and can't sort it 😅

The Prophets taught people the secret of decreasing hatred, and increasing love among themselves, extending greeting of peace and meaning it, promising your hands and tongue will be free from harming them, the words "Assalamu alaikum" is the greeting in paradise, and a prayer, "may you be in peace and protection (safety)

such an amazing lecture ! History sure can bring joy !

Great lecture, enjoyed it very much. Thanks 🙏

Dr casagranda is on fire🔥🔥his 2nd upload this week, best birthday gift I received

Amazing lecturer.

Dr. Roy I enjoy your lectures so much. I cant wait another 3 months for Part 3. Can you please shorten the waiting time for your lectures please.

Amazing memory, fabulous storyteller, unbiased in his views, I hope that Dr. Roy Casagranda takes on the Barbary Regencies history that would be wonderful!

Best Bude I have ever seen in regards of university lecture in history

Roy...man you are one heck of a story teller

Thank you so much Dr. Casagranda for these wonderful lectures. The Fatimid khalifa in Egypt was called Al mostanser bellah (The father of Nizar and Al mostaali), not Al montaser.

Man Finally, I was desperately waiting for this.

Baldwin II should've listened to his Mobb Deep: "Make one false move, and it's an up north trip. "

Uh oh, part 2 is here 😬. Thankfully I watched part 1 recently. Let's GOOOOO

لا نزال ننتظر الجزء الثالث.

This lecture was uploaded just three hours ago .. and the interaction is already high :-) .... Dr. Casagranda must come and visit us here in Amman-Jordan :-0
